Hi Joshua,
I never had issues with my emails. So I don't really know what to
answer you regarding to your issues :)
SPLIT: Although I think it can be a suboptimal thing for us, I can
understand your policy. Let me add that, to me, the biggest issue is
about (R)DEPEND. Splitting packages and maintaining in an overlay it's
not that hard.
